    Looks quite nice, definitely for a first attempt.
    Try toning down the colors a bit (a bit less contrast maybe) to make it look more realistic

    Without wanting to discourage any Skinning efforts here.

    Would just like to say that the Colour Purple, is one of the 5 most common colors used in Heraldry Historically to make Coats of arms.

    According to Heraldric Symbolism this is what it symbolises:

    Purpure (Purple) Justice, Sovereignty, Regal(Royalty)

    I personally found it appropriate fro CA to use that color for Byzantines.

    Heraldry sources:

    http://www.irishsurnames.com/heraldiccharges.htm
    http://www.digiserve.com/heraldry/symbols.htm
    http://www.fleurdelis.com/meanings.htm

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraldry

    However, if you aim for a really "authenic" look of the time for all factions, that is another story, you doing great with reskinning :)

    orginally I was screwing around with the Spanish Knights, but switched my idea to the Danes... still not done on the top, but I like what I did to the bottom... the pic doesn't give it justice though
